    Race games

    There are many online versions of these as the players race to gather points and make decisions about how to double or triple points or increase speed. Some racing games require players to complete quick calculations or practice their basic fact recall as the race to gain points or beat the competition. Reading and comparing large number scores is a valuable discussion as well.
